63 SWC Question re. felt & vent window rivets
I ordered felt replacement for the window tracks and replacement rubber for the vent windows. In both cases I had remove small (1/4" head) rivets. The new rivets (similar but not the same) came with the replacement pieces. Is there a special tool to flange the back end of the tool during re-installation? Where do you get it?
Also, since the new window track felt is slightly narrower than OEM it is not perfectly snug in there. Should I lightly expoxy it into the channel?
Thanks in advance.
